Occupational Safety Training for Shampoo Manufacturing

1. Overview of Shampoo

a. What is shampoo?

• Shampoo is a hair care product used to clean hair, removing dirt, sebum, and excess oils from the hair and scalp. It is made from surfactants combined with preservatives, colorants, fragrances, and nutrients to nourish the hair.
• Surfactants in shampoo clean hair by reducing water’s viscosity and helping dirt and oil on the hair to be washed away easily. Nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals provide nourishment to hair and make it softer and smoother.
• Currently, there are many types of shampoos with different formulas to meet the hair care needs of various hair types and conditions, such as shampoo for dry hair, damaged hair, dandruff, curly hair, straight hair, and many others. Shampoo is a very common and essential product in daily hair care.
• The shampoo market in Vietnam has grown at double-digit rates for several consecutive years. In 2020, this market reached a value of 9.2 trillion VND and is expected to continue growing in the coming years.
• Shampoo manufacturing companies in Vietnam are focusing on researching and developing new products, improving manufacturing technology, and promoting their brands to compete in both domestic and international markets. They are also seeking new and sustainable raw materials to minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing.

b. Types of shampoo manufacturing machinery

The types of machinery used in shampoo manufacturing include:

• Measuring machines: used to measure the necessary ingredients for shampoo, including chemicals, vegetable oils, water, colorants, and fragrances.
• Mixing machines: used to mix the necessary ingredients during the shampoo manufacturing process. These machines use paddles or gears to combine ingredients thoroughly.
• Packing machines: used to package shampoo into retail units. These machines can package shampoo in bottles, jars, pouches, or other retail units.
• Printing and labeling machines: used to print and apply labels on shampoo packaging. These machines are usually computer-controlled to ensure accuracy and efficiency during packaging.
• Grinding machines: used to grind shampoo ingredients into fine powders. These machines use blades to produce fine powders for use in the manufacturing process.
• Automatic filtration and bottling systems: used to filter and bottle shampoo automatically. This system uses filters and equipment to remove impurities from the shampoo before bottling. Bottles are automatically sealed and sent to printing and labeling machines.
